Funk Motorsport Garrett T51r Turbo Blanket – Turbo Heat Management

Funk Motorsport Garrett T51r Turbo Blanket Overview

The Funk Motorsport Garrett T51r Turbo Blanket is engineered specifically for the Garrett T51r turbocharger, providing advanced heat management for high-performance and motorsport applications. Designed with Funk Motorsport's signature four-layer construction, this turbo blanket delivers enhanced thermal protection, supporting both reliability and efficiency in demanding engine bays.

How the Garrett T51r Turbo Blanket Works

This turbo blanket is designed to insulate the turbine housing of the Garrett T51r turbo, containing extreme heat generated during operation. By minimising heat radiation into the engine bay, it helps protect sensitive components, reduces the risk of heat soak, and supports consistent turbocharger performance. The removable design allows for routine turbo maintenance without the need to replace the blanket, making it a practical solution for both professional and enthusiast builds.

Where the Funk Motorsport T51r Turbo Blanket Excels

Ideal for vehicles running the Garrett T51r turbocharger in track, off-road, or high-performance street builds, this blanket is particularly useful where engine bay temperatures are a concern. It is suited for drivers seeking to:

• Reduce under-bonnet heat exposure
• Protect wiring, hoses, and plastic components near the turbo
• Maintain turbo efficiency during extended or aggressive driving
• Enable easier access for turbo inspection and servicing
